mistakes

mistakes is a skill for Claude Code from Republicofhaitigoodstory6175/engram. It costs 46 tokens per session (726 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of mistakes, Apache-2.0.

A project memory tool that lists known past mistakes, regressions, and fragile assumptions. It can show whether a problem is still considered relevant.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before a significant change, while debugging, or when learning an unfamiliar part of a codebase.
Why use it?
It helps prevent repeating failures or overlooking warnings discovered during earlier work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mistakes scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

engram mistakes

Surface bi-temporal mistake memory from engram's graph. Each mistake has a valid_until timestamp and an invalidated_by_commit reference, so an old mistake auto-expires when its underlying cause is fixed.

Run:

engram mistakes -p $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR

The output lists active (still-valid) mistakes with confidence scores. When a mistake matches a query, engram surfaces it with ⚠️ at the top of the context packet, weighted 2.5× to ensure it gets attention.

Use this skill:

  • Before refactoring a module: "are there known sharp edges here?"
  • During debugging: "has this kind of error been seen before?"
  • When onboarding to a new area of the codebase: "what's broken or fragile?"

To record a new mistake explicitly:

engram learn "Don't pass options.scope=user; SETTINGS_LOCAL takes precedence." -p $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR

Example invocations

User: "I'm about to refactor the rate limiter — anything I should know?" You: Run engram mistakes -p $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR. Filter mentally for entries related to "rate", "limit", "mutex", or the file paths the user mentions. Surface the matches with their confidence scores: "engram has 3 active mistakes near this code, and one of them flagged this exact module:"

User: "Why does this test keep flaking?" You: Run engram mistakes -p $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR. Look for entries about flakiness, timing, race conditions, or the test file's name. If a related mistake exists, quote it verbatim — chances are someone already debugged this.

User: "We just fixed a race condition in the queue worker. Remember it for next time." You: Run engram learn "Queue worker had a race condition: don't read state.queue inside the await; snapshot it first" -p $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR. Confirm to the user that the mistake is recorded and will surface with ⚠️ on future Edits to that file.

User: "Has anyone fixed this kind of bug before?" You: Run engram mistakes -p $CLAUDE_PROJECT_DIR. The graph carries 2.5x relevance boost on matching results, so if a similar fix exists, it surfaces near the top.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
